The Nose - Molière Version

Bedrettin Simsek

Sinossi

A comedy in two acts.
It is a thematic development rather than an adaptation based on Ukrainian writer Gogol's short stories "The Nose", "The Overcoat" and "The Carriage", which are combined into a single comic play with an erotic touch, in which the fall of the Nose is accompanied by the collapse of the Russian aristocracy during the 1917 revolution, and many Russian figures such as Lenin, Rasputin, Gogol, Pushkin and others are mentioned in the work.
It is called "Moliere's version" because it is the closest, most similar in writing style to Moliere's comedy ever written in the history of the theater. In this play, Bedrettin has twisted Moliere's classical style with the modern, dreamlike and surreal style of American filmmaker David Lynch to create a comedy based on a distorted reality, or in other words, on the nightmarish renditions of reality, which is something very "Lynchian".

Gospel of Service The (Unabridged)

Booker T. Washington

Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
THE GOSPEL OF SERVICE: The subject on which I am going to speak to you for a few minutes to-night, "The Gospel of Service," may not, when you first hear it, strike a very responsive chord in your hearts and minds, but I assure you I have nothing but the very highest and best interest of the race at heart when I select this subject to talk about.

Dirty Diana

Andrea Smith

At sixteen, I felt I would always be a misfit. 
Popularity had eluded me, and I was pretty much a loner by choice. My world existed on the internet; gaming, and chat rooms were my escape, because there, my anonymity was my shield. 
Known by my handle, D-10, I fit in with the others, and met some phenomenal virtual friends. One special friend in fact was Dastardly Damned. We clicked. We gamed online, and finally we made plans to meet at a local hangout. 
Only I never saw his face.  
I never saw what was coming.

And Dastardly Damned would pay...
